^  I  ^EARING  off  the  brake  beam,  with  consequent 
damage  to  the  car  and  even  a  wreck,  is  frequently 
the  result  of  the  loss  of  the  cotter  in  the  brake  lever  pin. 
When  the  cotter  is  lost,  as  is  often  the  case,  the  brake 
lever  pin  drops  out  and  allows  the  brake  lever  to  slide 
through  the  fulcrum  and  catch  between  the  ties. 

In  order  to  prevent  such  accidents  we  have  designed 
the  National  Safety  Brake  Lever  shown  on  the  opposite 
page.  This  lever  has  two  safety  lugs,  one  cast  on  each 
side,  just  above  the  fulcrum  pin  hole,  which  strike 
against  the  edges  of  the  fulcrum  in  case  the  fulcrum 
pin  comes  out,  and  so  prevent  the  lever  from  slipping 
through  it. 

In  our  Catalogue  No.  22,  a  copy  of  which  will  be 
sent  on  request,  we  have  listed  over  one  hundred 
different  sizes  for  which  we  have  stock  patterns,  and 
which  we  are  prepared  to  furnish  in  high  grade 
malleable  iron.
